If it makes you feel better, I've nailed mine at speed and the composite body's held up fine.<BR/><BR/>They're def. not a solid pedal for freeride-ish types of rides -- the only time I ever tried a drop over five feet with these things, the spindle bent like a mofo. For that sort of stuff, I'd stick with the Mallet, which holds up really well.Coryhttp://www.thebikinghub.com/mtb/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19553703.post-1147573870377364212006-05-13T19:31:00.000-07:002006-05-13T19:31:00.000-07:00So I haven't had the "pop out" problem, but I have...So I haven't had the "pop out" problem, but I have certainly banged my new pedals a few times. I was worried that the plastic platform wouldn't be as durable as the Shimano 535 metal, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Only a few dings.<BR/><BR/>I post again when I rebuild them./khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01784962710226091352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19553703.post-1147559653647687312006-05-13T15:34:00.000-07:002006-05-13T15:34:00.000-07:00Rebuilds are easy too.

Fast wearing cleats -- not a big deal but you'll need to replace them a little more frequently than SPD ones. If you ride in spots with technical climbs, you might find that, on occasion, you hit the bottom of the pedal on something with enough force to pop you out of the pedal. Again, not a big deal but it happens at the bottom of the pedal stroke when you have no power and your foot is moving away from the pedal body.<BR/><BR/>Good review though -- let us know if you have any issues over the long run!Coryhttp://www.thebikinghub.com/mtb/noreply@blogger.com
